Enjoy the free Shamrock Keychain Amigurumi Pattern
Although the origin of this celebration is Irish, in an increasingly globalized world, it can be said that today it is celebrated worldwide, including Spain and of course, my land, Galicia.
Our common Celtic roots connect us historically and culturally with Ireland.
Thus, for example, the Tower of Hercules, in A Coruña, has Celtic elements, among which the statue of King Breogán stands out, who, according to Irish legends, founded Brigantia and built a Tower so high that it allowed one to see the coasts of Ireland.
Breogán is considered the mythological father of the Galician people, Galicia being poetically described as “Fogar de Breogán” (Home of Breogán) and this is even reflected in the Galician anthem.
To celebrate, I bring you a small detail that, as you know, is one of the symbols of Saint Patrick’s Day:
Shamrock Keychain Amigurumi Pattern
It is a very easy and quick pattern to make and it is super nice as a keychain. I have made it with 3 leaves, but if you want it to give you more luck, you only have to add one more leaf…
1. From the place where you are, that is, from the round marker, count the previous 8 sc, which together with the marked sc will form the half of 9 sc of the piece. Join in the last sc of the 8 with a sc, place the round marker and crochet the 9 sc (9).
2. “1 sc, dec”, repeat (6).
Stuff the piece almost completely. Fasten off. Sew the hole with the yarn needle.
To crochet the other half, join, with the part you just crocheted placed on the left, in the first of the sc and work in the last a sc.
Place the marker and continue working following the same pattern.
Stuff completely. Fasten off. Sew the hole with the yarn needle.
Sew the small gap that has remained between the two halves with the yarn needle.
CENTRAL PART AND STEM:
With green yarn
1. Work 7 sc in magic ring
2. Ch 13 and work 12 slip stitches on the chains, 1 slip stitch in the origin stitch of the chains.
Fasten off.
Sew a first leaf through its magic ring to 3 sc of the center part. Do it next to the stem. Sew the next 2 leaves over the last sc of the center where you sewed the previous one and into the next 2 sc. In this way you will have sewn the 3 leaves on the 6 sc of the magic ring of the central part.
Finished!
I hope you liked the brief historical reference and enjoy crocheting the pattern.
At the end of 2021 I want to wish you a Happy Holidays with the pattern of this little Santa Claus amigurumi that I am sure you will love.

Finished your Santa Claus Amigurumi! It was easy, right?
As you know, I am from Galicia and as I have done on previous occasions as in the Galician Octopus Amigurumi Pattern, I want to show you a little bit of my land through the St James Cake Amigurumi Pattern.
I have designed a New collection of “delicious” kawaii-style amigurumis
And I thought I could take advantage of and show you one of the most representative desserts of my land:
St. James’ Cake (Tarta de Santiago)
Do you know it? It is a very simple recipe since it is made only with almonds, sugar and eggs, with a little bit of cinnamon and lemon zest.
It’s delicious! But what makes it unmistakable is the drawing of St. James’ cross on the surface made with a template on which we sprinkle icing sugar.
Here you have the St-James’ Cake Amigurumi Pattern that you can also turn into a funny keychain. I hope you like it!

Final Details
Sew the icing sugar part on the piece of cake. To give a cottony look, lightly brush the wool once it is sewn.
Sew the bottom, top and sides over the cross above this piece and once you have the complete Cross, sew it onto the cake. The piece of the cross that you have crocheted does not have a well-defined shape, but it will help you so that once sewn, you can embroider around it, outlining the edges. This is the trickiest part of the pattern. Do it carefully, taking the thread of the piece and sewing over it in short lengths.
Finally, sew the eyes under the sides of the cross and embroider with light beige yarn the mouth at the bottom, leaving a little beige to show between it and the white part.
Finished!
I hope you have enjoyed the St James Cake Amigurumi Pattern
